Strongboxes are broken.

standard players and their first approaches to boxes :P?

wait for the cafrtographer ones you will start loving the boxes

as sustaining maps in a league is not so shitty bull crap like in poor standard
thanks to those boxes.

I'm no standard player. I have many standard char because most of them have RIPed. I know about cart boxes. That's how I got to a 74 map already.

Best Is to use that flask that now eludes me,that makes your movement transparent through mobs,along with a mod for increase movement speed.Its guarante getaway with no desync to happen due to its transparent nature

Wait. People have performance drops on strongboxes? Worst I ever have is like a 2-3 frame stutter. And that's rare.

What are you people playing on? Go upgrade your potato.

You know,if all could do it,they wouldnt have any problem.Problem is though how game preloads stuff.

I get this stuggering whenever i load the game and have to

A)using any skill for fist time
B)hit opponent for fiirst time
C)getting hit for first time
D)opening certain effect strongbox for first time.

After that all are ok,but first time that stuggering leads to death or near death situations.If you can give me money to upgrade my potato then ill take it,til then please dont bash people who cant afford beast pc's,but have the recommented hardware and get this issues

I'm playing on a laptop actually. Hardly a beast.

All it takes is a caching drive tbh, they're not expensive.

may i know your builds? how the hell can you risk dieing at every strongbox? it's beyond me... do you all go around in merciless with 2k hp?

are you saying you don't have a 1 to 3 second lag every single time you open a RIP-box ? I'm pretty sure that if you aren't experiencing this massive lag you are the exception to the norm. It must be nice not needing a bunch of 1/2 assed work arounds to this issue.

May I ask what kind of video card and specs you have ? I'm just curious how it is you are lag free on these things.

Side note: I get the lag regardless of build, RF, crit-flicker, CoC, it doesn't matter what build I am the RIP-boxes suck ass for 1-3 seconds upon opening for me.

No performance issues. Sometimes i drop to 2-3 FPS but for 1\4 of a second. Also i usually just smoke mine away and drink a granite flask just to be sure. Tbh i just not only smoke mine away but i also smoke the area near box first, and then set up another one to escape

Videocard dunno i don't remember and i'm at work atm.. i'll try see it

Yup, always had 2-3 sec zero response (in ambush league), then either was dead or the monsters were.

Suggestion to GGG: Load all graphics assets which the strongbox will require before starting the fight. Then once the screen can update, start the fight. Why is that so hard? I like the effects you guys design, but please implement them such that we don't continually reload shit. Or, if we do need to reload, at least pause the fights so long. It's crazy that the client cannot respond while the server is playing out a complete fight all on its own.

And no, my machine is no slouch, with 8GB RAM and an SSD.

This method works much better than any flask, or mobility skill ever will. It's the only safe way if you open a Rip-box.

Vaal Cold Snap + Trap
Cold Snap + Elemental Proliferation + Trap

Automatically freezes enemies as soon as you trigger it, without any input. Any loading lag doesn't matter, which could stop even trying to get to the menu. Any freezing or silencing curse doesn't matter. It gives you 2+ seconds of whatever the fuck you want to do time. This method automatically works regardless of latency or technical problems because it triggers when the box does, in which alt-f4 with poor latency could still cause death.

I am not a fan of the "you are frozen upon opening". Not cool. Otherwise it's a really fun thing!
